Review

Bright Eyes’ "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning" is like a hot cup of coffee for the soul—jolting yet soothing. It's an album that feels like Conor Oberst poured every drop of his heart into it, with every lyric and chord striking a chord of its own. The combination of indie rock, folk, and a touch of country, along with Emmylou Harris' guest vocals, creates this beautiful tapestry of sound that's just so hard to put down once you've picked it up.

It's incredible how songs like "Lua" and "First Day of My Life" have become these anthems that echo the innermost feelings of young hearts and dreamers. Whether it's the raw edge of love or the sharp pangs of loss, Oberst has this way of wrapping them up in melodies that stick with you. And the music—oh! It's simple yet profound, with a little orchestra here and a little acoustic guitar there, all working together to tug on your heartstrings. This album isn’t just listened to; it's felt, and it reminds me why indie folk can be so wonderfully impactful. - Ava
